May - a month devoted to Holy Mary<br/><br/>

"They have no more wine." Jesus performed His first public miracle as a result of this comment from Mary our Mother, turning water into wine.<br/><br/>

The bible always describes Mary as the quiet type, who "treasured all things in her heart". However, we see the other side of Mary at the Wedding of Cana: her willingness to speak up. From Jesus' blunt reply, "Dear woman, why do you involve Me? My time has not yet come", we can see that He felt intervened. So Mary simply said to the servants, "Do whatever He tells you". She did not use coercion, but deeply believed in the Love of Jesus. When everyone was drinking to their heart's content, Mary quietly retreated to the backstage, again, "treasuring all things in her heart".<br/><br/>

Dieter Furst, a German Lutheran pastor once said, "Mary's mission has become the mission of all Christians, that is, to bring Jesus Christ to the world." In other words, we as Christians have to reintroduce Jesus to this world by serving, caring for, and sharing love with each other. "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35).<br/><br/>
